I completed radiation last Thursday, but have been really tired ever since. I'm not sure if the fatigue is the result of radiation being finished, or the cumulative effects of chemo. Fortunately, I get a two-week break from the chemo treatments, starting tonight. I'm hopeful I'll feel more like blogging in a few days.
When my chemo treatments resume, the dose will be more than doubled, but it's only 5 days per month! I don't really know what to expect with the increased dosage. If this is as bad as it gets, I can handle it!
A meeting place for friends and family of Robert Hommel to get status updates and express thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery from Robert's recent health challenges.
About Me
I'm Robert Hommel. I'm 52 years old, married with 3 kids (ages 12, 10, and 9). Why 'Bob?' That's what my parents called me growing up, and how my friends at work know me! I have been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.
How to Leave a Comment
If you're not used to blogs, it may not be obvious how to leave a comment. At the end of each entry, you'll see who posted it (usually me!), when I started composing the entry, and a link that shows how many comments have been left (it will say "0 Comments" if there are none - yet!).
Click on the Comments Link and you'll be taken to a page where you can enter a short comment and post it. It'll show up after I've had a chance to review it.
If you want to send me an email (more private than a comment), just click on the envelope icon next to the comments link.

Bob, I hope that the change in your chemo routine produces no ill effects. We're looking forward to having you back with us in Pasadena. You are missed!
We will keep praying for you Bob.
Dear Brother Rob,
Am happy to hear that you are merely exhuasted. As bad as that is, it is something I would pick for you over so many other things.
I have an entire branch of my extended family that seems to be made up of cancer survivors; one cousin of mine, whom I am very close to, has survived three attacks, and everyone looks up to her for it.
I am going through some testing of my own these days, but thanks to people like you, I know it for what it is and take joy in knowing that God considers me worthy of it, and I look forward to what he will do with me ... and with you ... when we come out the other end, battle-scarred but stronger.
Love,
Your Brother in Yeshua in Guatemala,
Dwight Wayne Coop
Bob, I feel just awful. I had no idea that all of this had gone on! I was on vacation from 9/27 to 10/7, and just went back to the blog today. I really hope that you are feeling better. Vicki
